Chorus:
No Chord C G
Take this job and shove it, I ain't workin' here no more
[G]My woman done left and took all the reasons [A7]I was working [D]for
You [G]better not try to stand in my way when [C]I walk out the [G]door
[C]Take this job and [G]shove it, I ain'[D]t workin' here[G] no more
[G]I've been workin' in thi[C]s factory fo[D]r pretty close to fiftee[G]n years
I [C]seen some of my best friends [G]women standin' in a pool o[D]f tears
I [G]seen some of [C]kinfolks [G]dyin that [C]had a lot of bills to [G]pay
[C]Lord, I'd give the shirt right [G]off-a my back if I had the [D]guts to [G]say
Chorus
That foreman is a regular SOB and the line boss, he's a fool
He got a brand new flattop haircut, Lawd, he really thinks that's cool
One of these days I'm gonna blow my top and there's gonna be hell to pay
Lord I can't wait to see their faces when I get the nerve to say
